EA needs to patch those servers and make it so you don’t receive Weapon XP and challenges. I understand everyone plays the game how they want, but playing in a lobby filled with bots and going 144-0 seems wrong. Not to mention people have their weapons maxed out and all challenges complete. Meanwhile I’m grinding out just to get a grip for my gun.
That’s how you choose to play I would rather play bots with my friends and not be locked out of progression because I don’t want to work a 12 hour day and come home and get sweated out by no life’s. If anything reduce the do a little not a lot to make it pointless to play but to try to balance the do gain between portal and multiplayer
100% agree!!!!
Leave it the way it is...it's a friggen game and PvE players deserve to play it at full XP.
They made the mistake in 2042 of cutting us short of XP while playing in Portal (after release) and they lost a ton of PvE players and charge backs.
They messed up again by not making 2 separate profiles (1 for PvE and 1 for PvP). They'll never learn...but PvE players shouldnt have to pay the price again for their mistakes.
I’m fine with it either way just don’t take it away
I agree. They should keep it. PvE is still some people's choice. I uninstalled the game last night. Tucking it away, till they bring back PvE. Wish I could get a refund. Literally trick ya it feels with that Initiation. Full time job.. missed my window. Anyway. Yeah. Arguing bout bot lobbies? No different then loading into every multiplayer match with Streamers racking 50-0. Then you can't even properly use the portal 90% of the time. Gonna go back to 2042 for a bit lol
Have you tried getting it refunded? Surely a blatant bait and switch should be considered. If they use a selling point to market the game and remove it after you've handed over the money I think that would be grounds for a refund.
Player base has already dropped by half. I am sure next week after the weekend and people realize it fully it will drop down even more. 2 months in and they will have less than 50k players.
It's fine the way it is. Let people with jobs let unlock their stuff.
I agree, I want a private server to test bombing strikes on NPC targets, cant even start if there is not one other person in it.
I agree. Needs to be a separate mode. I bought 4 copies for my family. Now game lobbies are just full of super try hards that's seem to live on the game. Everyone that's complaining about the bots lobbies needing to be gone? You realize you don't have to even have play the bot lobbies.(Training grounds or not). Seeing so many posts asking to remove it completely. It should be a choice for those who just don't have the time to obtain all those pro gaming skills.
Amazing game! Thank you EA!
You should have said remove XP and weapon progression for bot Portals as BF is a PvP game. Also Portal isn't all about bot farm. Plenty more gaming clans want to play on Portal without bots, challenging themselves playing against skilled players and earning full XP while doing it. Currently we are being forced to turn on bot backfill because of the ridiculous 32 player in lobby threshold before the round will start.
I just want to run a Portal Coquest 32 vs 32 where my gaming clan and regulars can hang out earning full XPwithout bots and will be able to hopefully if they remove that stupid 32 players needed in lobby threshold.
Good one, it’s not about you it’s about me ahh comment..
Steams offering full refunds, i play 3/4 hours a week if lucky.. kids. work. life.. so bots with mates is easy. stress free and enjoyable.
im level 20 with still no unlocks. so my account will never be fully unlocked.
Hence the refund. shame what a waste.
For those wanting to play against bots then play the campaign, that's why it exists.
there is no weapn equipment unlock....
also not sure if its playable with friends? havent tested / checked. so no point if not.
refunds been issued now so all good
Why does it matter to you what other players have? You sound like a child.
Pathetic
It's a piece of software. Nothing more. I buy it, I use it, you get Butt-Hurt ... it's not my problem, it's yours.
This is funny **bleep** #$@%.
Probably grown **bleep** people too.
